The Triple Islands are a rocky archipelago off the northwestern coast of British Columbia near the entrance to Portland Inlet, noted for its role in maritime navigation off the North Coast of British Columbia.[1] The archipelago is located about 40 km (25 mi) west of Prince Rupert, 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) southwest of Melville Island, off the northern tip of Stephens Island.

The largest island hosts the Triple Island Lightstation and a helipad (IATA: YTI).
